Automatic Replenishment ~ Warehouse Management (WM) in SAP

This article is intended for SAP functional consultants to configure automatic replenishment of a particular storage type for transfer orders. Whenever the stock in a bin falls below the MIN value (predefined minimum quantity), it will trigger replenishment or transfer request (TR) which will in turn get converted into a transfer order, so that the workers in the warehouse can carry out the actual physical transfer of stock.

We have a provision of assigning a definite storage type from where the stock will be picked up for replenishment.  

Step 1:

Material Master has to be maintained with Warehouse Views.

Under Warehouse Mgmt 2 Storage bin, Maximum bin Quantity, Minimum bin Quantity and Replenishment Quantity has to be maintained.

Configuration Changes:

Step 2:

Movement type 320 is copied from existing movement type 319 under Logistics Execution ->Warehouse management->Activities->Transfers->Define Movement Types.

Movement type 320 is configured as the following and saved. We can define SRC for the Source storage bin so that no interim storage bin is taken into consideration.

Step 3:

Replenishment Control is defined for the storage type under Logistics Execution ->Warehouse management->Activities->Transfers-> Define Replenishment Control for Storage Type and saved.

Dedicated printers can be set up under Logistics Execution ->Warehouse management->Activities->Define Print Control for a particular storage type and saved

Step 4:

One job needs to be scheduled for each report. The report jobnames are randomly defined:
